Agrosta Texture Analyzer principle :

- First of all, you can adjust the home position thanks to the upper endstop, and adjust the stroke to the size of your samples - So with Agrosta Texture analyzer, you will save time on large batches- The motor starts the movement according to the high speed you have defined- Once the sensor reaches the sample, the pressure starts to increase- Once the pressure on the probe reaches the value defined by you in the software, the motor switches to the low speed mode you have defined- The motor continues making the stroke you have defined- Data are recorded each 50 milliseconds, and a curve is displayed- When measuring factors like springiness, or gumminess, you can parameter a second pressure on sample- Then the texture analyzer goes back (Stroke defined + backlash compensation), waits (time adjustable in the software), and starts a second pressure with new parameters- The curve is displayed, and you obtain a double curve (You can compare the 2 maximums in order to have a good indication of springiness or form memory)New in September 2017 : The PULL modeYou can now ask the tray to go to a precise position with 2 arrows in the software (UP and DOWN), and then start a PULL cycle at a determined speed - This is very useful for Raft Hook test, or stickiness testing - The curve is displayed in negative valuesNow in October 2017 : The CONSTANT PRESSURE modeYou can now ask the machine to apply a defined pressure during a defined time, and record the sample deflection / deformation in 1/10th of mmCatalogue of prices and options

Our engineers have worked hard during many years on this highly accurate machineOur Texture analyzer has been designed with top quality components, like main boards coming from the USA, high precision stepper motors, carefully drawn plastic parts stabilized in temperature, high quality load cellsThis machine has been designed to determine the texture, freshness, creaminess of any food product, as well as gels and gelatins springiness, semi-solids viscosity for pharmacy, meat tenderness.. Till now, we have proposed the following solutions to our clients :- Bakery products and bread texture analysis- Test of vacuum level in coffee packets (designed for Jacobs group)- Citrus ripeness testing (designed for Pepsico)- Glue viscosity measurement for battery manufacturers- High level research on fruits and vegetables (designed for government research centers)- Testing machine for a frozen food manufacturer- Chicken breasts hardness testing for the biggest US poultry genetician- Individual rice grains testing for an Indian university- Graphene compound cohesiveness for an Australian Research Center + Ruptureresistance of a thin film in graphene oxide- Bloom test on medical resinsAnd many more….

Our machine features :

Proposed with a load cell having a capacity of 4 Kg pressure, with a precision of 0.2 gramsMore than 100 types of tips or tables, adapted to quite all productsThe software, compatible with Windows Vista, XP, 7, 8 and 10 comes with the following features :- Single pressure test with adjustable speeds and strokes- Double pressure tests for checking springiness or form memory of products, with adjustable time between the 2 pressures- Pull test provides negative values : You first place your probe in the right position, and then start to pull; Used for stickiness testing for example- Constant pressure test : Just provide the pressure to be applied, and the holding time; the software provides the deflection of the sample in 1/10th of mm- Full pressure profiles can be recorded or loaded under Excel format- Raw data and statistics can be exported to Excel, Word or Xml- Graphics can be exported to picture format (jpeg)

The Machine comes with :

- The machine itself- Power cable- Software for Windows (Data can be exported to Excel)- Calibration Stand (1 Kg calibration weight to be purchased separately if required)- Tables or beakers according to requirements (Catalogue with prices hereafter)- Tips according to requirements (Catalogue with prices hereafter)- Usb cable- Spring on head if ordered- Any specific equipment or option

Dear Client,We are very proud of our Texture Analyzer, which is appreciated worldwide - It is certainly the best value for money firmness testing machine in the world, and we have very good feedbacks from our clientsBut be aware on the fact that Agrosta Texture Analyzer provides high quality RAW DATA, which have to be interpreted by clients themselves. The Raw data consists in pressures measured each 50 milliseconds / or deflection in 1/10th of mm.Our machine will not provide any firmness nor elasticity index - Such factors have to be deducted by the clients themselves once data is exported to Excel / The users have to apply their own formulasLaurent Klotz - Ceo
